Vittorio's was an Italian restaurant in the Pacific Palisades.

History

Vittorio's was established in 1984 by Mercedes Pellegrini and her husband due to the success of the nearby Continental Delights bakery.[1][2][3] In December 2020, Vittorio's hosted a toy drive for 200 foster children.[4][5] A year later, the restaurant shut down due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[5] In 2024, Vittorio's celebrated its 40-year anniversary and hosted a throwback event with the food prices being that of its founding year.

The restaurant was destroyed in the Palisades Fire,[6] but its owners look to rebuild it in the aftermath.[7]
